Got sick this morning. The girls said we got off at 12 because of the Elks parade so I thought maybe I could stick it out until then. And then Bill said I didn’t. But I had to come home about 1 anyhow. Managed it on the car.
Heard the parade over the radio. It must have been something.

Wally and I took a long walk down High St. and then home & melted.
He brought me a berry pit. Bound and 6 dishes.[sic] He calls it our anniversary. 26 months.

Elks National Convention here this week and is the town decorated. High Street a mess of flags. (And drunks.) Balled my ball around with the tennis racket a little this evening for exercise. Wally called.

Came down on the bus this morning left Marion at 6:15 and got to work at about 7:55.
Wally came down this evening and he’d been sick all day. Took him to the drugstore for a dose of castor oil.
Eclipse of the moon tonight. We watched it from the dining room window. Moon was a dull bronze color where it was eclipsed. Wally went home just before it was total.

Daddy, mother and I went to church this morning. Mrs. Shirk came over and went up with us. Told Mother their home was almost broken up.
Went for a drive over around Mount Vernon & Loudonville & Mansfield. About 150 miles. Home and to bed.

Went home on bus. Wally met me and went to bus station with me.
Bernard Brooks & Rosina came down this evening. We’re sort of planning a weekend trip to the lake. Hope nothing spoils it. Had popcorn and lemonade.

Louis came down with Walt tonight. Went for a walk and watched them play tennis at Indianola courts. Came home and sat in the swing. Louis rather cramped our style.

Note on my desk this morning. Gone to Logan, “Bill”. Morning went fairly smooth. JL Davis wanted some statistics so I made them. Bill came when I was ready to take them up and delayed them. Hope I don’t get in bad with JL.
9:15- My sunburn is peeling. Guess I’ll read Reader’s Digest some more.
